Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mission Hill, SD.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials 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 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
