Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers 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 treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
