Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thousand Palms, CA.

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these 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 subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
