Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Brightwood, VA.

Addiction rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
