Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Oxford, MI.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
