Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help 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 encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group 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 counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
