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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
