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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification 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 sustain a long and happy life.
