Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sedgwick, CO.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
