Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
