Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
