Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - North Lakewood, WA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

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