Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Randle, WA.

Addiction treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
