Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
