Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Salt Lick, KY.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed 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 generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these 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 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 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 prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
