Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Plattekill, NY.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation 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 mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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 prolong their life.
