Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cumberland, NC.

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
