Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Beulah, CO.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
