Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lucerne Valley, CA.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 group and individual 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
