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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
