Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Green Lake, WI.

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
