Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ernul, NC.

Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may 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 challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 therapists 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
