Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Compton, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 physical or mental impairments and 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 in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
