Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Westwego, LA.

Substance abuse treatment 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 focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs 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 generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
