Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of 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 prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
