Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Gilboa, WV.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox 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 sustain a long and happy life.
