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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
