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

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
