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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
