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

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, 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 their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
