Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Burnt Ranch, CA.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific 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 going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
