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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab 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 unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
