Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kingston, MI.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 prepared to accommodate the 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 determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
