Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
