Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lafe, AR.

Addiction treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox 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 sustain a long and happy life.
