Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Indian Lake, NY.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to 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 seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities 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 age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
