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

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs 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 considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
