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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
