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

Substance abuse treatment 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
