Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Southmont, NC.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related 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 delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
