Substance abuse rehab centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
