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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
