Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Aberdeen, KY.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
