Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Roxie, MS.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 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 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
