Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Staley, NC.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their 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 fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
