Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Woodstock, VA.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
