Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Forest Hill, WV.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
