Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Glendale, KY.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery 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 engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
