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

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
