Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful 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 unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic 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 professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs 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.
