Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Millersburg, IN.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
