Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brook Park, MN.

Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 prolong their life.
