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

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions 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.
