Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
