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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
