Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Middlesex, NY.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
