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

Substance abuse rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
