Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Crapo, MD.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
