Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial 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 treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic 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 such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
