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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities 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 specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone 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 prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
