Drug and alcohol 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 recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
