Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Union Center, WI.

Addiction rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
