Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
