Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kelly, WY.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
