Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Stone Ridge, NY.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials 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 experienced with the 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 require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
