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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
