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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
