Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Startex, SC.

Addiction treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment 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.
