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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience 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 younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
