Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. 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 experienced with the 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
