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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone 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 prescriptions 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.
