Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Tomahawk, WI.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides 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 sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish 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 prolong their life.
