Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
