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

Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
