Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
