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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
