Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Arverne, NY.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful 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 treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 delivered with audio or verbal 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
