Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sycamore, KS.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental 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 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 recovery many require medical intervention 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 prolong their life.
