Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
