Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sterling, IL.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions 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.
