Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - La Salle, IL.

Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific 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 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 apt 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 prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
