Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Monroe, TN.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
