Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
