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

Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
