Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sumerco, WV.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
