Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Avalon, NJ.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers 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 willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
