Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Saranac, NY.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 group and individual 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 detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
