Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Zimmerman, MN.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification 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.
