Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many require 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.
