Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Mclean, VA.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
