Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oxford, NY.

Addiction treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
