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

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
