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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
