Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Echo, LA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
