Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Schlater, MS.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
