Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful 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 specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
