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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful 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 support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
