Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
