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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery 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 unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

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