Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services 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 understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
