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

Addiction treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 rehab. Program materials 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 experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
