Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - La Grande, OR.

Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the unique 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 treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
