Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Chattahoochee Hills, GA.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
