Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Allegany, OR.

Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
