Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sallis, MS.

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
