Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance 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.
