Saint Jude's Long Term Program

Senior Adults

Do you believe that you or a loved one needs long term alcohol treatment or drug treatment? There is a better way:

The Senior Adult, much like the mid-life adult, is at a difficult transitional period in life. He/she may need help finding new passion, fulfillment and goals in life. For many seniors who have already had many successes in life, finding new worthy goals, as well as realizing all that they have to offer their community and their loved ones is the key to breaking free from substance use problems. For these individuals finding newfound joy in life is the primary goal. Planning a full schedule is beneficial and is done through an exploration of hobbies, volunteer opportunities or new career options.

Our program extension, The St. Jude Personal Review and Enhancement Program P.R.E.P may be just what is needed for the senior adult to find confidence and fulfillment in life again. These options can give new focus in life, whether it is finding the courage to create a new career, renew family commitments, work through a tough marriage situation or the loss of a spouse, deal with chronic illness or simply gain new enthusiasm for life; these programs were designed to help bring new passion and excitement to life. Returning home should not be scary; it should be an exciting event, coupled with a clear set of goals and plans for a renewed lifestyle!

St. Jude's offers program options so each and every guest returns home prepared!

More Valuable Time

"The six week program has been life changing, but I just don't feel ready to go home."

These individuals simply need more time at the retreat applying the lessons taught during the six weeks to gain more self confidence before returning home. For some, the emotional stability is not yet consistent; nagging thoughts of worry and self doubt might still plague them. Those in this age demographic may need more detailed help with health issues, marriage and family issues, or finding new purpose in the next stage of life. Some may need to continue to work through past emotional issues and reverse poor social habits, or let go of guilt so they can return home a different, more positive individual. For these individuals, the extra 3 time at the retreat can be the difference between success and failure. Please call us to discuss this option if you feel it might be necessary for you or your loved one.

Additional Services Provided

 

Some in this demographic need guidance that deals specifically with finding a new career or in finding new purpose in passing on their life's knowledge to the younger generations through volunteerism and other hobbies.
