Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Union Point, GA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
