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

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
