Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful 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 empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such 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 treatment many need 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 prolong their life.
