Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Atlantic City, NJ.

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
