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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the unique 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 support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
