Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Harrodsburg, IN.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific 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 seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and 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 the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
