Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Dover, OK.

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific 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 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
