Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fountain, NC.

Substance abuse rehab centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
