Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Northome, MN.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific 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 when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
