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

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
