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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 professionals 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions 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.
