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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment 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 challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
