Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ouray, CO.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older 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 group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
