Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pittsfield, IL.

Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab centers 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 unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
