Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Zuni, VA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
