Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - St. Helena, CA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
