Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
