Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lowell, OR.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

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