Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dunkirk, MD.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help 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 understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
