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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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