Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
