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

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account 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 presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
