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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset 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 professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
