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

Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 sustain a long and happy life.
