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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 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 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 establish 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.
