Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Tulalip, WA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or 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 in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
