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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
