Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Derby, OH.

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

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
