Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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 sustain a long and happy life.
