Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - South Lake Tahoe, CA.

Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
