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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
