Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
