Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Orangeburg, SC.

Substance abuse 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 focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
