Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dodge Center, MN.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
