Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals who are prepared to accommodate such 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 continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
