Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dewitt, VA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique 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 entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account 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 verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox 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 prolong their life.
