Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Conda, ID.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment 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 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
