Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
