Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Norwood Young America, MN.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may 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 treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
