Addiction rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way 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 need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
