Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Idaho Springs, CO.

Substance abuse rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
