Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kennan, WI.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the specific 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 treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment 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 treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
