Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Agency, IA.

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group 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 in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
