Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - North Henderson, IL.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 recovery many need 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
