Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Auburn, WI.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
