Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Firestone, CO.

Substance abuse rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation 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 considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
