Substance abuse rehab centers which serve 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 they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
