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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
