Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Congress, AZ.

Substance abuse treatment 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 focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related 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 treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
