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

Addiction treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful 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 younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox 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.
