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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these 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 subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention 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.
