Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Slatersville, RI.

Addiction rehab centers 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 services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
