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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials 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 experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox 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.
