Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Cedartown, GA.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 way group and individual counseling sessions.

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