Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Paterson, WA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
