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

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
