Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hurlock, MD.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
