Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wedowee, AL.

Addiction treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
