Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
