Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Woodlawn Park, KY.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. 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 support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
