Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Grand Forks AFB, ND.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique 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 don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab 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 considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
