Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Unionville, MO.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities 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 challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
