Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - La Grange, NC.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab 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 considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
