Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Proctor, MT.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 recovery. 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 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
