Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mount Jackson, VA.

Substance abuse rehab centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
