Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ketchikan, AK.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment 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 unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 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 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
