Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Atchison, KS.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing 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 rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and 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 counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
