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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 group of client faces while in treatment. 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 prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
