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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services 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 understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and 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 experienced with 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 recovery many need medical intervention 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
