Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 the 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
