Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Challis, ID.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions 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.
