Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
