Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lena, WI.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
