Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fort Sheridan, IL.

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

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 counselors 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs 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.
