Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Marion Station, MD.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials 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 the 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
