Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of 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 determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
