Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Hermosa, SD.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their 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 likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities 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 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 presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 safe detox 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.
