Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
