Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Charlotte, TN.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique 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 rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in 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 considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
