Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mesa Verde National Park, CO.

Addiction treatment 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 can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
