Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - South San Francisco, CA.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
