Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Carthage, NC.

Addiction rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help 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 empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities 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 difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
