Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Albany, WI.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older 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 demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox 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 sustain a long and happy life.
