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

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
