Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Angelica, NY.

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
