Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Eastern, KY.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific 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 these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
