Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wendell, MN.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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