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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
