Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Marathon, IA.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
