Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cowden, IL.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of 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 prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
