Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol 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 work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
