Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers 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 treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
