Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bettendorf, IA.

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
