Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Tuckahoe, NJ.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older 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 rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
