Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Frontenac, MN.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 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 delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
