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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
