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

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients 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 age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. 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 counselors 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
