Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Penrose, CO.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide 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 recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
