Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Marshfield, WI.

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and 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 professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
