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

Drug and alcohol rehab centers 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 centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification 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.
