Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Totowa, NJ.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
