Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wells, MI.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or 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 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
