Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Freeport, MI.

Addiction rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
