Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
