Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment 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 unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or 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 such 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 treatment many need medical assistance 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 prolong their life.
