Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Shorewood, IL.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
