Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Oakdale, MN.

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

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
