Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 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 prolong their life.
