Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services 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 empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
