Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
