Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lawrence, MS.

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which cater 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 can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities 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 unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
