Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Darien, IL.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater 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 seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox 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 sustain a long and happy life.
