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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
