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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can 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 treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account 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 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 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
