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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
