Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Donald, OR.

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
