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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times 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 challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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 prolong their life.
