Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique 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 treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 sustain a long and happy life.
