Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way 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 assistance 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
