Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
