Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique 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 these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions 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.
