Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Jellico, TN.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
