Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Augusta, WV.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse 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 considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
