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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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