Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cissna Park, IL.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
