Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - De Kalb, MS.

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific 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 these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, 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 their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
