Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Merino, CO.

Addiction rehab centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
