Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Palmetto, GA.

Substance abuse rehab programs 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
