Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
