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

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical 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 prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
