Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Exeland, WI.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
