Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Patton, MO.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
