Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Dunbar, NE.

Addiction rehab centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 determine 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.
