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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
