Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 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 figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
