Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Durham, NY.

Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers that offer 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.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
