Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bohannon, VA.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific 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 the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs 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.
