Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Logan, NM.

Addiction treatment programs which serve 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
