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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many need 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
