Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique 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 they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
