Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Clear Spring, MD.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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