Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Wake, VA.

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. 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 encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
