Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ponce De Leon, 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 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 sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
