Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ashton, IA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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