Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there 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 unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
