Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cascadia, OR.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
