Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dexter, IA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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