Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group 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 provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs 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 health issues or challenges this demographic 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 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 need medical assistance 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 sustain a long and happy life.
