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

Addiction 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 centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related 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 audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
