Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fernandina Beach, FL.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
