Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or 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 therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
