Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Tonawanda, NY.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the 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 they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
