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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 prepared to accommodate such 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
