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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older 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 subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
