Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tuba City, AZ.

In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
