Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Watrous, NM.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
