Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hortense, GA.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
