Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Okabena, MN.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
