Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab 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 considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such 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 figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
