Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific 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 seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 treatment many need medical intervention 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.
