Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mizpah, NJ.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
