Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Winter, WI.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
