Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mason, WV.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific 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 these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
