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

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
