Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
