Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pine Grove, LA.

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many need medical assistance 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 prolong their life.
