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

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
