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

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
