Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Marcus, IA.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
