Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Sisters, OR.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual 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 determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
