Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Prairie Farm, WI.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
