Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dunedin, FL.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful 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 the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
