Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Nauvoo, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
