Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dalton, OH.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
