Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - East Ridge, TN.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
