Am I Too Old for Rehab?
Am I Too Old for Rehab?
There are those who decide it is time to get help for a substance use disorder later in life, along with those who begin to develop a substance use disorder at an older age. This leads them to seek out treatment options, often being met with inpatient and outpatient facilities that seem to target a younger crowd. But is rehab strictly for younger people? And is there another option for working professionals and seniors to receive the same level of care?
Is Rehab Only for Young People?
No. Rehab isn’t just for young people. While many facilities predominately provide care for a younger client base, this doesn’t mean you’ll get turned away because of your age. People of all ages need support, and the right facility will be able to meet you where you are along your life journey.
Do I Have to Go to Rehab to Get Sober?
No. Not everyone has to go to rehab to get sober.
With that said, if you believe you are suffering from drug and/or alcohol addiction, it’s important to meet with a drug treatment specialist to better determine what treatment option is best to meet your needs. From there, you can put together a treatment plan that meets you where you are in life.
If you are busy and have obligations that you can’t put on hold, you may want to consider either in-home treatment or telehealth services that are able to work around your schedule.
Are There Any Private Options?
Yes, there are other options for those looking to stop the use of drugs and/or alcohol that do not involve group treatment or even visiting a facility. One option that many patients find success with is in-home treatment, like that provided by Front Door Health.
In-home treatment involves substance use specialists and medical professionals visiting your home to administer the same quality of care you would receive at a treatment facility. This allows you to get private, one-on-one care without the need to take time out of your day to visit an in-person facility.
