Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Rugby, ND.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
