Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Breeden, WV.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific 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 seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account 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 presented 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
