Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. 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 such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance 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.
