Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Babylon, NY.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel 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 facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
