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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
