Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
