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

Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the 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 detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
