Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
