Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sedan, KS.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention 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 prolong their life.
