Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Abilene, KS.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve 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 help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
