Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wartburg, TN.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and 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 offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
