Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tougaloo, MS.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
