Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Nottoway, VA.

Addiction rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities 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 considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs 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.
