Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Indian Head, MD.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
