Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wawarsing, NY.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
