Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Achilles, VA.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique 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 these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention 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.
