Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Calverton, VA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
