Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Evergreen, VA.

Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their 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 contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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