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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. 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 prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
