Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mentone, AL.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
