Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Dauphin Island, AL.

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

Rehabilitation 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 impairments and 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 or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
