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

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

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
