Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ashwood, OR.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs 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 age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
