Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention 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 sustain a long and happy life.
