Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused 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 encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions 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.
