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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific 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 these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset 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 professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
