Drug and alcohol rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
