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

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these 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 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 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance 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.
