Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - West Monroe, NY.

Addiction 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 recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
