Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Minot AFB, ND.

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique 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 they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
