Drug and alcohol treatment 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 recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
