Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - New Providence, NJ.

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic 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 experienced with the 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
