Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
