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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
