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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
