Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
