Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Douglas, GA.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
