Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial 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 rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
