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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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