Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Byromville, GA.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to 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 they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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