Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Newark, OH.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related 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 curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
