Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
