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

Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment facilities 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
