Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Pungoteague, VA.

Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can 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 offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
