Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Adams, MN.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 such 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
