Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
