Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Ashland, KY.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
