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

Substance abuse rehab centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs 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 considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
