Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - North St. Paul, MN.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the 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 safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
