Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fort Gordon, GA.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
