Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger 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. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
