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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
