Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
