Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
