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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful 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 support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
