Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pembroke, KY.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 treatment many need medical intervention 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.
