Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
