Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cherry Valley, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
