Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Emmett, KS.

Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
