Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their 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 younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. 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 address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 subset of client faces while in rehab. 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 experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
