Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Jackson, NJ.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention 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.
