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

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers 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 at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
