Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Manzanita, OR.

Substance abuse rehab centers 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
