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

Addiction treatment programs which cater 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 centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account 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 produced 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
