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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

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