Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ashland, OH.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab 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 sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
