Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Powder Springs, GA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

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