Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kent, NY.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 or treatment therapists 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs 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.
