Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment 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 unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
