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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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