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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset 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 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 need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
