Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
