Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Morven, NC.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral 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 specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 group and individual 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 prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
