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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
