Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Friendship, MD.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 apt 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 prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
