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

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

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities 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 unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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