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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment 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 unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
