Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pacifica, CA.

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered 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 younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
