Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ecru, MS.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
