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

Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services 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 can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical 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 counselors 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
