Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Belmont, NC.

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

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
