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

Addiction treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful 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 empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 sustain a long and happy life.
