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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
