Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Norcatur, KS.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment 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 understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
