Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Huntersville, NC.

Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel 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 facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
