Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wagner, SD.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment programs 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 considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
