Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Chalmers, IN.

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
