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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
