Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ione, WA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
