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

Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
