Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Felton, GA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
