Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sandy, UT.

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
