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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
