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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. 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 offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
