Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Princeton, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can 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 understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs 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 specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
