Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Jersey, GA.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 experienced with 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
