Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. 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 prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
