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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
