Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
