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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides 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 at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
