Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 impairments and 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
