Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Triangle, VA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused 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 at times be less willing 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 deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group 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 prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
