Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Burdett, KS.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same 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 engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
