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

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
