Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bob White, WV.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery 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 understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 require medical assistance not just through detoxification 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.
