Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Alexandria, IN.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance 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 sustain a long and happy life.
