Reflections Program for Mature Adults

TAKE TIME TO REFLECT, CHANGE AND GROW...

The Reflections Program in Newport Beach, California is a chemical dependency treatment facility that addresses the needs of older adults. Our approach to helping adults overcome alcoholism and drug addiction (specializing in prescription drug dependency) involves showing the utmost care and respect for the adult men and women who will begin a new successful chapter in their lives with us.

Our staff is comprised of addictions experts who have years of experience dealing with the unique emotions and needs that our adult clients bring to the Reflections Program.

Adults Have Different Recovery Needs

The Reflections Program is the creation of Sober Living by the Sea Treatment Centers and a result of our realization that the adults who were coming to Newport Beach to overcome their addiction to alcohol or prescription drugs like vicodin, ambien, percodan, or oxycodone had different needs than our other clients. Mature adults often are at a different place in their lives with a different outlook and motivation level than younger people seeking treatment for addiction. We think typical drug rehab treatment for addiction or alcoholism should be modified for adults over the age of 35. Often, the adults in our treatment program are very physically dependent on drugs or alcohol, but mentally and spiritually they are “done playing games” and realize that their recovery is a matter of life and death.

For this reason, we have found it very effective to have adults live with other adults who they will bond with as peers. Also, the adults who recover with us in Newport Beach respond well to our supportive and caring clinical staff who use humor and understanding to make our clients feel comfortable opening up with each other and beginning a new life free of drugs or alcohol.

Prescription Drug Abuse

The Reflections program, because of its specialized design for the treatment of mature adults, has developed expertise in assisting recovery from prescription drug abuse for our clients who are addicted to pharmaceutical drugs like vicodin, oxycontin, percodan and percocet, ambien, ritalin, xanax, ativan, codeine, morphine, all opioids, barbiturates/depressants, and even stimulants.

Addiction to prescription medication is known as the "invisible epidemic" and for many years has been the fastest growing area of drug abuse. Elderly adults and senior citizens often suffer from addiction to prescription drugs which they are prescribed by a trusted doctor, and develop a mental and physical dependence to these drugs over time. Addiction to prescription drugs is a very serious matter with potentially fatal results, particularly if the drugs are abused with alcohol. Many times family members and loved ones have a difficult time addressing the issue with the mature adult who is suffering from addiction to prescription medications. Contact us at the Reflections program to get an assessment and guidance on how to approach a loved one suffering from addiction.
