Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers 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 considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
