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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 treatment many require medical intervention 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
