Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Charleston, SC.

Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 experienced with such 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
