Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tuckasegee, NC.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, 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 rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
