Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Summit, UT.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific 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 or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
