Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Temperanceville, VA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
