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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment 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 specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
