Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cottage Grove, MN.

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
