Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Monmouth, IA.

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental 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 in reading material or treatment counselors 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 safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
