Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger 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 specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic 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 the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
