Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and 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 or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
