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

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
