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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can 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 they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

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