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

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
