Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Oldhams, VA.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that 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 difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions 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.
