Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients 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 age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
