Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Yucaipa, CA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
