Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cooleemee, NC.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic 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 in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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