Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Louisa, VA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve 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 recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger 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 age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group 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 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
