Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
