Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there 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 unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention 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 prolong their life.
