Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hickory Hills, IL.

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. 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 professionals 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
