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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
