Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Opelousas, LA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
