Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
