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

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
