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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful 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 empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 experienced with such 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
