Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Big Clifty, KY.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities 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 age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 such 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
