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

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

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

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
