Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Jefferson City, MT.

Addiction rehabilitation 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 focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
