Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wheelersburg, OH.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful 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 support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
