Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Oolitic, IN.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can 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 going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
