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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
