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

Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
