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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
