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

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic 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 therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention 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.
