Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Jekyll Island, GA.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
