Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
