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

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery 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 mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
