Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - West Nyack, NY.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or 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 counselors 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
