Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Freehold, NY.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out 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 sustain a long and happy life.
