Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cullom, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment 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 considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the 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 detoxification but to figure out 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.
