Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
