Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
