Substance abuse rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which 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 difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
