Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - La Pointe, WI.

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. 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 professionals 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 determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
