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

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment 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 at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
