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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 safe detox but to establish 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.
