Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 treatment many need medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
