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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 professionals 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
