Drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio 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 means of group and individual 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 detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
