Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Weimar, CA.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
