Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sorrento, FL.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
