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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment 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 specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
