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

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
