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

Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
