Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lakeside, OR.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
