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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique 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 therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
