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

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
