Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mount St. Francis, IN.

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
