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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater 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 focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to 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 facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
