Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific 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 offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
