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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
