Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Rougemont, NC.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
