Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Hunter, OK.

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
