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

Addiction treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
