Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Kelford, NC.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on 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 group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way 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 safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
