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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
