Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bakersfield, CA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful 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 challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities 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 provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
