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

Addiction rehab centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic 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 experienced with the 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
