Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - White Swan, WA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide services 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 focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification 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.
