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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out 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 sustain a long and happy life.
