Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Fackler, AL.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific 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 when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 counselors 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
