Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Speedwell, VA.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group 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 or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
