Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Magazine, 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 recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
