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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel 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 programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers 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 considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
