Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Helena West Helena, AR.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
