Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Smith, NV.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age 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. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related 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 recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
