Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lexington, MO.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
