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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful 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 offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction 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 work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment 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 unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
