Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alsey, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol 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 unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
