Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Butler, OK.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
