Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 experienced with the 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox 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.
