Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Claxton, GA.

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 experienced with 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
