Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Washington, OK.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

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