Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Forsyth, GA.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial 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 going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way 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 need 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
