Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Allen, SD.

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the 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 require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
