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

Substance abuse treatment centers 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 can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
