Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Arab, AL.

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the specific and 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 going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
