Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Monroe Center, IL.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 health issues or challenges this group 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 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
