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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on 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 demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
