Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Center, MO.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
