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

Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and 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 or treatment counselors 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
