Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Pettibone, ND.

Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related 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 rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
