Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brookhaven, MS.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox 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.
