Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
