Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Prospect, NY.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
