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

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such 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 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
