Addiction rehab centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 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 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
