Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Shaw, MS.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older 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 recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
