Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dover, KS.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset 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 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
