Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bridgewater, SD.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related 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 curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
