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

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
