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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
