Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bloomfield, KY.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older 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 demographic 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
