Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there 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 health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 assistance not just through detoxification 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.
