Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
