Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dunn Center, ND.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
