Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Washington, IL.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides 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 likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol 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 health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
