Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - East Syracuse, NY.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group 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 experienced with the 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
