Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lakewood, NY.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
