Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
