Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - New Windsor, IL.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the specific and 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 seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
