Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Oneonta, NY.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
