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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the 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 these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox 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.
