Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. 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 support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and 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 professionals 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 require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
