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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs 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 considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
