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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery 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 understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 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.
