Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Nokomis, IL.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients 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 age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
