Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox 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.
