Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Double Springs, AL.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
