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

Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these 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 group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
